8.2.3.2.1 Inductor Selection

For this design, the input voltage is 9V to 16V. The output is single white LED and the inductor current ripple by requirement is less than 40% of maximum LED current. To choose a proper peak-to-peak inductor current ripple, the low-side FET current limit should not be violated when the converter works in no-load condition. This requires half of the peak-to-peak inductor current ripple to be lower than that limit. Another consideration is to ensure reasonable inductor core loss and copper loss caused by the peak-to-peak current ripple. Once this peak-to-peak inductor current ripple is chosen, use Equation 28 to calculate the recommended value of the inductor L.

Equation 24. L = V O U T × V I N ( m a x ) - V O U T V I N ( m a x ) × K I N D × I L ( m a x ) × f S W

where

  • KIND is a coefficient that represents the amount of inductor ripple current relative to the maximum LED current.
  • IL(max) is the maximum average inductor current, equal to the output current here.
  • fSW is the switching frequency.
  • VIN(max) is the maximum input voltage.
  • VOUT is the sum of the voltage across LED load and the voltage across sense resistor.

With the chosen inductor value, the user can calculate the actual inductor current ripple using Equation 25.

Equation 25. I L ( r i p p l e ) = V O U T × V I N ( m a x ) - V O U T V I N ( m a x ) × L × f S W

The design ratings of inductor RMS current and saturation current must be greater than those seen in the system requirement. This is to ensure no inductor overheat or saturation occurring. During power up, transient conditions or fault conditions, the inductor current may exceed its normal operating current and reach the current limit. Therefore, it is preferred to select a saturation current rating equal to or greater than the converter current limit. The peak-inductor-current and RMS current equations are shown in Equation 26and Equation 27.

Equation 26. I L ( p e a k ) = I L m a x + I L ( r i p p l e ) 2
Equation 27. I L ( r m s ) = I L m a x 2 + I L ( r i p p l e ) 2 2
In this design, VIN(max) = 16V, VOUT = 3V, ILED = 2A, IL(max) = 2A, fSW = 400kHz, choose KIND = 0.4, the calculated inductance is 7.6μH. A 10µH inductor is chosen. With this inductor, the ripple, peak, and rms currents of the inductor are 0.61A, 2.3A, 2A, respectively.
